Conflicting ESuIn0-s Continue Afioat
Es-<ardinG the e. and u. Negotsa-
ui0Kss.

There were as many contradictory r1nors hoat
ing about the country yesterday regarding the b.
and .. railroad deal Is on any day since the affair
first made public. The report sent from Ne"
York and published in THE STAR yesterday, that the
control OF the road had passed into the hands OF
syndicate in which Jay Gould owned quarter In
terssst found little credence in Baltimore an
Philadelphia. The report, It is tntimated, W.
put out in the Gould interest. The B,t
tigore Sun to-day has the following Me-
York dispatch: ''The following comes from tn
inside OF the Richmond Terminal party: The sltG
alton at present il that Alfred Sully is engagcdt
making up a syndicate to take Mr.. CARROTS stocs
Last Friday General Counsel COwen and vi
President King of the Ii. and o., came to this Gil
and gave 10 Nr. SuIly from Mr.. Garrett an extcn-
sion OF time IN which 10 form the syndicate
make the purchase. There is no option like tn
which expired last Thursday, but Mr.. Sully H.
Mr. CARROTS permission TO go ahead with his syn
dicate, and the assurance that the stock will b
delivered If the syndicate is formed AS TO tn,
Richmond Terminal, 1t would be willing 10 take
the stock, not at 200, but at a price which wouU
he iair. When the proposition was first made th'
Terminal did not have time 10 make prope.
Investigation, and so declined 20 take up the SuA
option As 10 Mr.. Gould, think 1t very hkei'
tll4t he Will have hand in the deal The b. ana
o. Is certainly property he would Ike TO control
'Ihe sensation of the day on Wall street was
the discovery that Alfred Sully was in close con-
ference with Russell Sage. He was cloSeted witt
stated on good authority that he had been in con-
ference with Mr.. Gould anc Mr.. Sage yesterday
Gould and Sage said tonight that Sully undOubt-
ediy held Mr.. CARROTS option TO sell the STOCK,
and Was not this thee hampered by time limit.
He said that Mr.. Sully had asked Mr.. Gould ami
MIR. Sage To enter into tire syndicate, but that they
had not done 80 as yet, bu5 had man at work
making a thorough analysis OF the financial state
mentS OF the IL. andO- Gould and Sage thought
that the price asked was entirely too high.
The following was given on. to-day by an
frsiier I'm the StaynOr-IveS party: 'The deal has
been cOnSuInmated- Mr. Garrett has the money
which binds the bargain. and his stock Is ours
can give you no details, for am sworn TO silence,
but direct your attention to the Dayton and
1rOltOn railroad part OF the Cincinnati, Hainll-
ton and Dayton system That road is 10 be
extended To junction with the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, and Will give the latter command oI
The state of Ohio in railroad sense
The Philadelphia Ledger money article to-day,
after saying that the Baltimore and OHIO matter,
though still talked about had taken a secondary
position, adds: There are no new developments
IN The Baltimore and Ohio sale, and that matter
seems 10 be in allegiance. IL is quite evident that
Mr.. Garrett Is now i'll the position OF the auc-
ti0neer who has offered his property to the high
est bidder, and Is waiting 10 receive Satlsfac-
tory offer. He has asked for bid at 200, at 19o,
AT $780, and so on regularly dOwnwardS, and some
time back thought he heard an offer, and while
Its character and the source from which &c comes
may not exactly suit him, he fingers in true auc-
IOn style, and dwells upon It TO gain time while
his agents are anxfouSly Sk1rmiShing around
among the audience TO secure a bid that will be
better"
